Toys

It's funny how kids are. Nathan got a lot of toys that he wanted for Christmas.....trains, cars, etc but you know that boy would rather play with Natalee's toys!

This evening Nathan was dragging around a little caterpillar that makes music and other noises when you pull the string. He was saying it was his pet. Every time Nathan would walk past his sister with "his pet" Natalee would reach out and grab her toy.....which resulted in "Momma! Natalee is getting my pet!"

I came up with a solution..........Natalee went to play with Nathan's train and McDonald playset. Needless to say, she has her caterpillar back. LOL!

No Infection

I finally was able to get a urine sample.....she doesn't have a urinary infection. Whew!

I think her medicine is kicking in now because she is blowing raspberries all over the place. :-)

Doctor's Visit

After Natalee threw up again this morning, I decided to call the doctor again. They told me to bring her in. She has an ear infection in her right ear, possible stomach virus and possible urinary tract infection. The doctor who saw her today told me that if she has diarrhea that will let me know about the virus. As for the urinary infection, they put a bag in Natalee's diaper to catch urine. When she goes later on tonight, I have to put a stick they gave me in it and if it changes colors she will have a tract infection and will have to call them back immediately.

I'll be glad when she is better. Nathan didn't get sick like this when he was little so this has been quite a bit worrisome. But she has some medicine to take now so all is much much better!

Sick

Natalee is sick.....she has a cough, runny nose and a temperature today. Poor thing. You can tell she is not feeling well because all she wants to do is sleep and nurse. Doctor said as long as she doesn't have a deep cough they can't do anything for her (babies can't have medicine anymore)....but we have been giving her Tylenol for the fever. She and I will definitely be staying home from church tomorrow.

Christmas 2008

Christmas Program

Nathan and all his little church buddies were in a Christmas program Sunday night. During rehearsals, he did such a good job. Then as soon as it was time, he walked out on stage, saw all the people and had a bad case of stage fright. The poor little guy cried through most of the program until right at the very end when he discovered a loose feather and started playing with it with all his friends.....distracting ALL of them from singing - LOL. But it went well and was a cute program......but poor Momma had to have aspirin when it was over. I think it was just as hard on me as it was Nathan. ha ha!

The program was about how children around the world celebrate Christ's birth. All the children dressed up as someone from a different country. Nathan was an American Indian.

Polar Express

Every year the Tennessee Valley Railroad has a special train ride that is based on the movie 'Polar Express'. It is a sell-out every year. Three months ago, Tripp's parents asked if they could take Nathan on this ride (Nathan LOVES trains). So Saturday night, we all went to ride the Polar Express. It was such a cute program for the kids. While on the ride, the story is told of the Polar Express while all the passengers munch on gingerbread cookies (Natalee LOVED those!) and drank chocolate milk. Along the way, we saw Christmas lights and Santa's Elves "little homes" and even some snow! When we reached Santa's workshop, the train turned around and had a surprise guest on board - SANTA! Nathan did really well with Santa- despite his Santaphobia. Santa gave everyone a bell from off his sleigh. It was a really nice ride.

Nathan's reaction when he saw Santa

Natalee had a YUCK - and I mean YUCK - diaper. It could be smelled MILES away!!! But Santa was brave and held her. She didn't pull his beard this time.

Walker or Jumper??

Pulled out the ol' walker last night to see what Natalee would do. She likes it but she thinks she has to jump to move. She jumps and it will roll a little bit across the floor. She also likes it when Nathan pushes her across the floor.

Merry Christmas From The Little Webb Family!!

Finger Foods

A new Publix opened in our town last week and I went to check it out. While there I noticed they had these finger foods by Gerber that Nathan ate when he was little for 3 for $5!!! I grabbed them for Natalee. I put her in the saucer with a handful......not expecting her to be able to eat them...but that little booger grabbed one and popped it right in her mouth! She loves them!

She is really coming along. My doctor told me that I could start trying to use a sippy with her! Can you imagine.......a sippy cup already!!! This is depressing!!!!!!!!!!

Smart Girl

Last night, I was laying on the floor with Natalee and she wanted to nurse. Her head was opposite from me so she started scooting on her back to get to me. She managed to turn 180 degrees around and was so proud! She is one smart cookie!

Baptism

I was giving Natalee a bath when Nathan came in and decided to help. He took the little cup I use to wash Natalee's hair with and said "Natalee, say your prayers!"

I asked Nathan why he said that..........he said:

I'm going to BAPTIZE Natalee!!! YIKES!!!!

Santa

We had our annual visit with Santa through the program at my Dad's work. This program is really nice and we always look forward to it every year. Every child/grandchild of the employees gets to visit with Santa and pick out a very nice toy.

Nathan was NOT about to sit with Santa this year although his sister was. We couldn't even bribe him with a TRAIN! That was what you call ultimate Santaphobia!

Natalee was asleep when I first put her in Santa's lap, but as soon as I turned to get out of the shot, she woke........she looked at Santa.............she grabbed a wad full of beard and pulled!!! Instead of saying HO HO HO......Santa was saying HELP HELP HELP!!! It was funny!

Family Day

Friday, Tripp took off from work and we headed downtown to spend the day together. We spent a couple of hours at the aquarium, ate pizza then headed to the IMAX to see Polar Express in 3D. We had a really good time!

6 Month Check-up

Natalee went for her 6 month check-up today. She received more rounds of vaccines in her leg and mouth. She did well handling the shots. Thankfully, we had a good nurse to administer them to her.

Although she looks bigger than Nathan did at this age, she is going to be a tall and light-weight like her brother. Compared to other little girls her age, she is 95% taller than all of them........but on weight she is 50% smaller, which according to doctor is perfect in his book (chart is based on average weigh of American kids, who are typically obese anyways).

She weighs 15 lbs 8 ounces and is 27 1/4" long. Man.........these 6 months have flown by!

Leapfrog

One of Nathan's favorite toys when he was little was his Leapfrog table........now it is becoming his little sister's favorite. Here is Natalee enjoying the table.

Eating!

Here are some pics of Nathan and Natalee enjoying lunch together. Natalee is eating blueberries and oatmeal in the two pictures. She loved the blueberries!

Good News!!!!

I'm going to be an AUNT in July!!!!!!!!!!!!

Christmas Pictures

A friend of ours wanted to give Tripp and I a special gift this year of Christmas pictures of Nathan and Natalee. Here are a few of the best ones of them. Didn't they look so cute???
